T Level vs. DHEA Level

[jwh7699]

I know my T level, based on bloodwork, is 170. I don't know what my DHEA level is.

I was wondering if T level is low does that usually mean that DHEA level is low too or are they not related like that?

Thanks!!!

They are related; DHEA is a precursor hormone where all other hormones come from. Test is down stream from DHEA so there could be a myriad of things that could cause normal DHEA-S levels but low Test levels. It's always good to check DHEA-S when doing a TRT blood work. It's also recommended to supplement DHEA on a TRT protocol due to HPTA shut down.
